Ivy and I at a super fun circus birthday party for her friend Shankar. Ponies, bouncy castle, balloon animal artist, live grown-up music, gorgeous weather, popcorn, and marshmallows. Most fun I've had in ages.

Paper Hat

Here's Ivy at Charlie's birthday tea party. Jennifer originally handed this hat to John for Ivy, so when I asked Ivy if she wanted to wear it, she said, "No, that's Dad's hat." Photo by the amazing eRin

Ivy is usually pretty unsure about social situations. This photo captures it perfectly.

Ivy loves Peacocks

On our recent trip to Mayfield Park, Ivy revealed her hidden talents as an expert Peacock caller. She said this peacock was named Cheerio. We later gave the others some names, including Cornelius and Percival. "Percival?" Ivy said. "That makes no sense." This peacock adventure has inspired a peacock collage, Ivy wanting a stuffed animal peacock, and her wondering if they have any peacock books at the library.
